Flying passed your matchbox houses
See the lights go off and on
Discount factory outlet showrooms
Isn't five of them enough?
Maybe when my mind is gone
And a quiet life will do
I can learn to do fuck all
And feel superior to
Edison! Edison!
I see you push your load along
Between New York and Washington
The world ain't calling upon Edison
Edison!
No use in pretending that you 've got anything I need
Thought I saw a spark of life a mile back
Someone burning trees
Maybe when my arteries harden
And my fighting spirit dies
I could learn to settle here
Like a headstone with eyes
In Edison! Edison!
I see you push your load along
Between New York and Washington
The world ain't calling upon Edison
Edison!
I once knew a boy
Born and bred in Edison
he had the worst sense of fashion
He'd leave the house with mismatching socks on
He was a loser! He was a loser!
He was a loser! He was a loser!
And now he's a man
Seen the world, it's better off
Thanks to his reinvention
As someone not fro Edison
I want to thank you! I want to thank you!
I want to thank you! I want to thank you!
All is forgiven! All is forgiven!
All is forgiven! All is forgiven!
Well I guess we all can breathe a little easier now
You're better than Edison
And she's better than Edison
And the gentleman over there who's losing a ll his hair-DON'T STARE! BUT...he's better than Edison
Andy ou're better than Edison NOW!
Ain;t no damned town ever gonna bring me down!
No way no how!
It's never gonna bring me down!
